I know this is crazy but I remember this song being performed on some music awards show and the background singers was the Russian Red Army Choir who travelled the world singing those great songs of the Motherland. This was back in the mid-nineties - the time of big changes in Russia and Eastern Europe. This song and that performance seemed to capture that mood of the time perfectly for me. The only thing left to fear were douchy Eastern Europeans.

You know, the original "Go West" as sung by the Village People was a paen to gay love and freedom of lifestyle available in San Francisco. But the significance of the lyrics was lost on straight people in those days just because gay culture was not yet widely known. So then the Pet Shop Boys (another gay act) come along 20 years later and they "code" the song so it looks like an East/West Cold War anthem -- funny! But as seen in that concert clip -- lots of hunky men dancing in uniform behind them as they sing? SO GAY! And a real titillation to anyone with a uniform fetish, LOL!

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
